Well I actually watched Big Brother back then and I posted way more often. I was really enthusiastic as well, not that I'm not now just not so much on here. Most of the people I talked to here I just talk to on Twitter now. I've been here 7 years now so that's obviously a long time.

don't really know, haven't been on here for that long, Quite opinionated, But pleasant at the same time

[GypsyGoth]

I felt intimated by a lot of members here.

I think everyone who had joined before 09. I just presumed that y'all knew each other and got on.

I remember being pretty shocked when two people were arguing and both had over 10k post and one of them said that they had never spoken to the other person before.

But yea I think Ross's Den thread helped a lot. Because a lot of the other people posting there were new also, it wasn't as daunting.

I don't really like Big Brother anymore.

[King Gizzard]

When I first signed up and posted in the live feed thread claudia called me a knob

[Marsh.]

Claudia is a very good judge of character.

[King Gizzard]

Nice

[nicole_burks]

I didn't really know what to do, Scott had to tell me to go post in this thread

It was a bit awkward because I came back on and my tumblr had been posted by Smithy.

I had been exposed in less than 24 hours

[Doogle]

My posting style has never been consistent sometimes I use proper punctuation and capital letters SOMETIMES I DONT.

I don't really know I felt part of the forum from the minute I joined but I think I've just gotten used to it so I feel more comfortable posting things

[joeysteele]

I don't think I have changed, mainly because when I first joined,it was just as the last BB series on Channel 4 had started, I was immediately welcomed by one Mr Mockinator who I communicated with a lot from the start and then kazanne became someone I regularly communicated with too.
So I felt very much part of it all and also felt supported and protected by those 2 members and others too.

That belonging was what pulled me to this forum in the first place after I had looked in and read the posts before joining and I don't think that has changed or that I have either since then.

True Ammi, I have learned a bit how to say enough in a smaller post but on Politics and serious issues, then really I can still go on for almost for ever if I was allowed to.

I will spare you an example of that for the moment.

I have to admit, I do like your longer posts on politics/serious debates. I enjoy reading well thought-out, rational posts.

Thank you very much Redway, I always enjoy reading your posts too.You really make interesting and strong points.

I think however,one way I may have changed from the start is, I now get other members humour most of the time.
It is hard in the written word to work out when humour is there or if it is really something else.
Novo and Locke,I was unsure of their humour for a fair while but now I really rate those guys and really like them loads.

Thanks Joey, im glad that I helped someone get into the Forum easier.

[LemonJam]

I used to be a pretty prominent poster in 08-09... now I guess I'm more of a background person.

[Mystic Mock]

I've changed a hell of alot from when I was first on here.

[Harry!]

I have improved my grammar and spelling alot over the years I have used this site. I have become far more quieter and less outrageous. My music obsessions have changed alot over time. Although I listen to a huge variety of music at current day.

I have noticed this.

[InOne]

Oh and I don't think I've changed too much apart from a lot more quiet. I used to talk in the den loads and generally with more members, now it's just a few. It's hard get into it these days as it's changed so much since I first joined.

No offense but I used to find it hard to get your humor at first, I think it's alot easier to tell when you are joking now.
